The Board's members are valued stakeholders who are committed to:

Investing in the school financially and encouraging other alumni and friends to do the same,

Reaching out to prospective students with strong potential and sharing the Vanderbilt Law School experience to attract the brightest and most talented to Vanderbilt,

Mentoring students and recent graduates, and

Recruiting and interviewing students for placement in exciting careers in both the private and public sectors.

The Board of Advisors meets at the law school each fall during Reunion Weekend and each spring in conjunction with the annual Founders Circle Dinner. Members serve three-year terms and a member of the most recent graduating class serves a one-year term. Sara Finley (JD '85) is currently serving as the Board President (spring 2018 - spring 2020).
